Marilyn Monroe dress sells for £2.8m

Over the weekend the very famous white dress worn by Marilyn Monroe was auctioned and was bought for a very cool £2.8m ($4.6m). Possibly one of the most well known dresses in film history! The image of Monroe getting the gust of wind from the subway and blowing her dress up has to be one of the most well known as well.

An unreal amount of money considering it was bought for just $200 dollars and for it to make so much money, just shows how much of a pull Monroe still is in the Hollywood world. I don’t imagine this is something that will ever happen with dresses or any clothes from recent films.

Pottermore

Last week a website with the title Pottermore appeared with coming soon across it and J.K. Rowling’s signature. Leading up to an announcement which you can follow the countdown here. Nobody seems sure at all what the announcement is going to be about, but early talk has stopped rumours of a new book and stated that is not what it is all about. I guess we can still hope a little bit that we are going to get another book.

You can also follow on Twitter the account https://twitter.com/#!/pottermore which has made just two tweets and has over 72,200 followers! It really does just show the power of the internet and social network sites with how fast people heard about ‘Pottermore’ only 3 days and 2 hours to find out what its all about!

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 8: What do you think would be your fave lesson

Transfiguration

Mainly because I think it would be cool to turn an object into something different. Plus Professor McGonagall whilst strict does seem very cool at the same time. Being Griffindor’s head of house is a big pull towards that lesson too.
